GForce Oddity 2

BEST Analogue classic

Electronic music legend John Foxx said of it: “The Oddity is beautifully realised. All the power, character, precision, intricacy, grunge and sonic extremes of the original.”

Reviewer Andy Jones said: “Oddity 2 is a triumph. It comes packed with many features over the original – we love the extra mod options and using it as an effect.
